Recommended Trailer Wiring for a 2008 Nissan Xterra Without a Factory Tow Package
Question:
I have a 2008 Xterra that doesnt have any factory towing package, if I buy this package will it enable the full functionality of the 7 blade or is there additional work that needs to be done?

Helpful Expert Reply:
All of the functions on the 7-Way harness # 118266 will work with your 2008 Nissan Xterra without a factory 7-way wiring harness tow package.
I highly recommend using dielectric grease part # 11755 to help prevent corrosion from water exposure.
I included a couple FAQ's and installation video for you too.
